Some of tlie republican newspapers are having a big job trying to convince certain voters that their candidates are wet and others that they are dry. Any way curfew won't do any good next week for the youngsters won't go home until mom and dad starts them and even then they will have to be reminded of the hour several times. And the older folks won't be a jump behind them. "Gee whiz, we haven't been able to pick out any one day to come to the Decatur Old Home Week celebration," said a man from the south part of the county today, "so we are just arranging to come up every day so as not to miss any of the wonderful program.” Thats right. We call your special attention to the fact that motoring in this vicinity will be rather conjested next week and every one should be as careful as possible to avoid accidents. Police, scouts and others will give every assistance possible but without the extremest care of the drivers accidents cannot be avoided. Drive carefully and help others. Governor Smith will open his campaign at Omaha on the night of the 18th and will talk particularly to the farmers of the great wheat belt. That he will please them and convince them is the opinion of those who know the governor best and his ability to meet situations. He will also speak in Oklahoma and at Denver on this trip and it is expected will swing on towards the Pacific coast. Politics in Adams county will not excite much interest until Old Home Week is over. Os course a lot of the candidates will be here during that event but people will be so busy having a good time and greeting old friends that they won't have much opportunity to hear them or to remember what they say. However, there will be some six or seven weeks in which to discus? the issues and make up our minds. The big special edition of the Daily Democrat boosting Old 'Home Week and containing the advertisements of almost every business in the city, will be out tomorrow evening. We are proud of it, grateful to those who have assisted in making it a success and will see that a copy is placed in each home in Adams county besides the hundreds that will go outside. We hope and believe you will be pleased with it. Among the exhibits here next week that will attract much attention and which we are pleased to have'will be that of the General Electric Company. In a specially built room at the corner of Madison and Second streets will be found a complete display of every thing electrical and you will be interested in visiting it. The General Electric operates a branch factory here, employs several hundred people and we are very proud of their share in the prosperity of our people and more than glad that they are taking part in Old Home Week. Robert Ingersoll died in Denever this week after a career in business that is as interesting as any story ever

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Biggs. Cal. Sept. 7—W.Rh-Trou-sers found on the highway near here were claimed by a dozen men when officers announced a small sum of money had been found iu the pocketk. written. Born on a mortgaged farm in Michigan he had a hard struggle as a boy. He conceived the idea that watches could be manufactured and sold at a low pric& and after taking every watch he could get hold of apart anti putting them together again, finally originated one that could be made and sold at a profit for one dollar. He and a brother got into the business and succeeded in disposing of seventy million watches at one dollar each. His is another case of an American poor boy making good. A writer in the current Review of Reviews points out that Hollywood, which hailed the new talking movie as a boom from heaven, is now beginning to suspect that the new invention will not prove an unmixed blessing. Talking movies for home consumption are fine, of course, but a large part of the movie worlds profits comes from the sale of films in foreign countries; and an American "talkie," obviously, won't go over at all in Berlin, Paris or Buenos Aires. If the talking films are perfected—and they doubtless will be —it may be that American movie producers will find their dominance of the foreign field ended. They cam still make silent movies for use abroad, of course; but it is probable that foreign audience will prefer talking pictures made at home. If you have a growing child, it might be a good idea to drop around at the oculist's some day and have his vision tested. Often children have defective eyesight that does not get discovered. School authorities in Washington, I). C., recently found that only 3.4 per cent of 1860 school children examined were free from jßye defects. It is highly important, if there is something wrong with a child's eyes, for that fact to be learned. A youngster cannot hope to do himself justice in school if his eyes are defective. Often a supposedly dull student has been found to be suffering simply from weak vision; when remedial measures are taken, such a child will show his full mental powers. An examination costs little, and may do a great deal of good. The friends of Mr. Hoover could have found little in the great Smith meeting addressed by Senator Robinson at Dallas Monday to strengthen their hope that Texas may go over to the fellow-partisans of "Jack" Hamilton. The fact that Senator Morris Sheppard presided could not have pleased them. He is the author of the Eighteenth Amendment but is big enough to recognize the right of Gov. Smith to advocate its repeal. And his remarks to the crowd must have been disturbing in the headquarters of Mr. Hoover. He admitted that Texas is a “doubtful state" in that it is doubt ful whether Gov. Smith's majority will be 250,000 or 300,000. That sort of "disaffection” is not so good.

Equally disturbing must have been Senator Robinson's blunt way of blurting but the absurd falsehoods about the governor which the strategists at the Hoover headquarters prefer to have whispered for the edification of the ignorant only. It was bad enough to have these grotesque slanders publicly mentioned; it was worse to have it made quite clear that some of these were put out by the publicity director of the Hoover campaign. But it must have been heart-breaking to find the Senator promising to go down the line of lies and absurdities that have been mobilized for work in the south and discuss each and every one from the stump. It would be just like Senator Robinson to put each of these foul falsehoods up to Mr. Hoover and Chairman Work with a demand for a specific expression from them on all of these. A whjspering campaign loses its force when brought out Into the open, since falsehoods cannot bear the daylight, and aosurdities cannot long survive the laughter of intelligent men and women. — New York World.
